`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
`337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘Section
`337’’) provides that if the Commission
`finds a violation it shall exclude the
`articles concerned from the United
`States:
`unless, after considering the effect of such
`exclusion upon the public health and
`welfare, competitive conditions in the United
`States economy, the production of like or
`directly competitive articles in the United
`States, and United States consumers, it finds
`that such articles should not be excluded
`from entry.

`attachments, concerning the public
`interest in light of the administrative
`law judge’s Recommended
`Determination on Remedy and Bonding
`issued in this investigation on January
`25, 2018. Comments should address
`whether issuance of the LEO and CDO
`in this investigation, should the
`Commission find a violation, would
`affect the public health and welfare in
`the United States, competitive
`conditions in the United States
`economy, the production of like or
`directly competitive articles in the
`United States, or United States
`consumers.
`In particular, the Commission is
`interested in comments that:
`(i) Explain how the articles
`potentially subject to the recommended
`orders are used in the United States;
`(ii) Identify any public health, safety,
`or welfare concerns in the United States
`relating to the recommended orders;
`(iii) Identify like or directly
`competitive articles that complainants,
`their licensees, or third parties make in
`the United States which could replace
`the subject articles if they were to be
`excluded;
`(iv) Indicate whether complainants,
`complainants’ licensees, and/or third
`party suppliers have the capacity to
`replace the volume of articles
`potentially subject to the recommended
`exclusion order and/or a cease and
`desist order within a commercially
`reasonable time; and
`(v) Explain how the LEO and CDO
`would impact consumers in the United
`States.
`
`Written submissions from the public
`must be filed no later than by close of
`business on Thursday, March 1, 2018.
